Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Trimyristin or tripalmitin is expected to have low melting point need to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Melting point of a compound is the temperature at which the compound starts to change from solid state to liquid state when temperature is raised.  The total number of carbon atoms determines the melting point of the compound.  Higher the carbon atoms and no unsaturation means higher is the melting point.

To determine: whether trimyristin or tripalmitin will have lower melting point.
